Consumer protection laws dictate that returned computers cannot be
sold as new. Because of this, a large number of the systems returned to
superstores are eventually sent back to the manufacturer. While some of
the computers returned have bad components others have no defect whatsoever.
In these situations, the manufacturer is faced with what to do with these
computer systems. This means great values for customers.
For example, Hewlett-Packard has a process to "recondition" these computers
into factory fresh condition. Returned computers are tested to determine
if defective and if so they are repaired by replacing defective components.
For a example, if a system fails because of a faulty CD-ROM drive the drive
is replaced with a new drive. All software and manuals are returned to
the factory "new" condition. All reconditioned computers pass quality assurance
tests in the factory and receive a 90-day HP Warranty. Reconditioned computers
appear & operate just like new systems, with two exceptions - a lower
price and a sticker on the box that states the product has been reconditioned.
Keep in mind that reconditioned computers are not for everyone. These
computers are perfect for the "value concious" or "budget" consumer. Make
sure that your customer understands the nature of the reconditioned computer
and if they appreciate the fact that this type of computer offers them
a great value they should be happy with this purchase. Hewlett-Packard
reconditioned computers offers an even greater value since they have been
restored & guaranteed to be in "as new" condition. |
